The City Tourism Office confirmed that there will be 15 contingents from the City’s schools and barangays which will compete in the Pasundayag (Street Dance) and Pasigarbo (Showdown) on Sept. 28.

Councilor Michael Bandal, chair of the Committee on Tourism, and City Tourism Officer Jacqueline Veloso-Antonio presented the schedule of activities of the 31st anniversary of the Sandurot Festival, and invited the public to actively support their respective contingents and friends who will be competing in various contests.

Mayor Felipe Antonio Remollo and the City Council presided by Vice-Mayor Alan Gel Cordova provided all the necessary support to the Sandurot Festival, as way of promoting the rich heritage and paying tribute to the people and institutions who have made Dumaguete one of the best places to live in the country today.

Antonio explained that the “creative weaving into the local fabric of colorful threads of different ways, beliefs and lifestyles is a concept we call sandurot” (to come together).

The week-long festivity has human industry and creativity at its heart. It features street dancing, original Dumaguete music, local film showing, an acapella competition, a farmer’s market, budbud gabi cooking contest, local food, display of terracotta sculptures, traditional children’s games, public lecture-dance concerts, and a photography contest, among others.

A large crowd watched the presentation of Paghimamat (Get Together) at the Rizal Blvd., which told the story of Dumaguete through dance, music, and theater (PIO)
